Do you need an explanation of the work shown? The distance can be found by multiplying the rate by the time. as long as you know two of three parts, you can find the missing value. There is no problem shown in the picture?
Answer:
y=x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Find slope
slope = (-1-3)/(-4-0)
= -4/-4
= 1
2.) Use point slope form
<u>y-y1= m (x-x1) </u>
both x1 and y1 are the points
m is the slope
3.) Plug in the numbers
for the points I chose (0,3) to plug in
y-3= 1 (x1-0)
y-3= x
y= x+3
A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.
The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.
(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.
B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.
C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.
- Draw a horizontal line on the graph at cost = $12. It intersects the graph at lbs = 4.
- Divide the total cost by the unit price. $12/($3/lb) = 4 lb.
